    Male Marginated Tortoise

    I'm sad that I have to do this but I need to find a good home for my male Marginated tortoise Maximus. I've had him since November 2012 when he was only 2 months old. He has been well taken care of and his shell look amazing. Unfortunately I don't have any more room to keep him because we are...

    Wanted! Black Greek Tortoise baby

    Does anyone know where I can get a black greek tortoise hatchling to add to my tortoise family? I have two African Spurs already so I would like to get a 3rd tortoise that won't get very large when full grown.

    Help! I think we have mold.

    Good idea Tom, we can try that. This will be easier then trying to remember to take them out. Thank you!!

    Help! I think we have mold.

    Yes the white fuzziness was only on the mound the cuddle bone was on. I think you both are correct! I never would have thought the cuddle bone would be an issue but it makes complete sense. We like to keep it in there because our girls like to nibble on it, or use it as pillow or surfboards. We...

    Help! I think we have mold.

    We had two homes custom built for our sulcata babies & set them up last night. They are 2x2x4 box enclosures made of melamine & have a sliding plexi glass front. There are two vents in the top back corners & we drilled holes in the bottom part of the plexi glass for more ventilation. We have...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    Update: I separated my two sulcata's and Dexter is doing much better. I haven't heard a squeak or click from her since I moved her into her own cage that is well heated & very humid. We are going to move both girls into a new enclosure today. We custom built two 2x4' cages with a plexy glass...

    Display case enclosure??

    We don't know the exact height but agree that it does look really low. We were wondering if we could put a CHI in the corners somehow & mount a 18" fixture on the back wall.. It's still up for debate. We are looking at it tomorrow. Any suggestions on ventilation?

    Display case enclosure??

    I'm looking at other housing options for my 5 month old sulcata babies. I currently have them in a 2x3 ft tortoise house but I need to separate them and put them in something more closed off. Do you think a display case like this would work well for a closed chamber house to keep humidity up...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    I'm so sorry to hear about your little one Sibi. That does not sound good at all. I'm hoping that it is nothing as serious as what you have experienced. We keep our babies well hydrated & haven't noticed any change in their eating habits so I'm hoping that by separating them and getting them...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    We only noticed one tiny bubble coming from one nostril last night. So far it has only been a one time occurrence. There is no noticeable discharge or anything else coming from her eyes or nostrils. Sunday night she was squeaking quite frequently & last night it was only a handful of times...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    Sorry I failed to mention the bubble in the first post. I've been e-mailing anyone I can find online & calling local vets about my concerns so I've lost track who I told what. This forum has definitely been the most helfpul so far. I'm anxious to get home to try these new suggestions. I have...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    You brought up some really good points Tom. In our eyes, we always picture them as human behaviors and think it's cute to see them cuddle but it is most likely just as you described & one of them is trying to be the dominant one. We have a square aquarium that we can move one of them into for...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    My apologies Tom, the cool side is 76-80. Not 65!! Thank you for your concern and for the information. I haven't heard anything bad about keeping torts in pairs until now. They seam to like being around eachother and always cuddle with eachother when they sleep at night. Are there certain signs...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    Is it normal for her to do it frequently & then rub her face? Last night we were watching her and she did it at least 4 times in 20 minutes. She doesn't have discharge from her eyes but we did notice 1 tiny bubble come out of one nostril. I just figured it was due to the soak she had earlier in...

    proud mama of two sulcata tortoises, Dexter & Scully

    Sorry my post was incomplete. I'm new to this forum, lol... Thank you! I had a hard time choosing names but they totally fit them. I have always loved turtles/tortoises my whole life! I have had red eared sliders, box turtles & a red footed tortoise. All of them I loved but sadly had to give up...

    sulcata squeak, should I be concerned?

    Hi there! I’m Des, I have two 5 month old sulcata tortoises that I acquired 1 month ago from a private seller. There names are Dexter & Scully. I was told they were incubated to be female so there is a 90% chance that they are. Yes I know Dexter is not a girl name but it definitaly suits her...
